Inspired By #177 - shred the cake!

 

Before anyone asks, I don't know what that means - but I know Inspired By #177 - Shred the cake inspired another Christmas card for my stash!!  THAT is a win!

See if you can find the elements from our photo that inspired my card this week...

This guy is having no problem shredding the slopes!  

Along with a few Stickles stars, these are the inks I've blended for my sky:

I love it when Danni stretches my imagination!  Don't you?  I also love it when we have tons of cards in our gallery - will I find YOU there this week?  Hope so!

Second helpings today!

I'm still so accustomed to having two posts on Thursdays!  Thought I'd let the mood strike for second helpings today!

My friend Marcia was so kind to share her lucky little CCC Shamrock mouse for my IB165 card with me, I returned the favor and tucked a little something in my thank you note!  Hope you love them as much as I do, my friend!  

What was it, you may be asking?  a new little cutie from MFT called Sweet Celebrations from their newest artist Rachelle Anne Miller ...  the dies are a must have, I think!  I couldn't fussy cut those balloon strings to save my soul!

I was inspired by Therese Calvird to try Yana Smakula's non-blended Copic coloring technique on my balloons ... yes, I did use every last one of these Copics!!! and a few of my favorite cover plates! [only one still available - that sweet scalloped one from Reverse Confetti]

These little cuties are up, Up, and a WAYYY too cute water colored with

Distress inks, too - more on those soon!!

Okay.  Thanks for allowing me a second post today... like you could stop me! LOL
